Description
Whipping Cream Cake is a rich, dense, vintage-style dessert with a buttery, pound cake-like texture. Made with just 6 ingredients and no need to preheat the oven, it’s a simple yet irresistible treat that’s become an internet sensation.
Ingredients
- 3¼ cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whipping cream (unwhipped)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Shortening, for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Generously grease a 12-cup bundt pan with shortening. Add 1/4 cup of the flour to the pan, cover with plastic wrap, and shake to coat. Discard excess flour.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter and sugar until pale and fluffy (about 3 minutes). The texture will be thick.
- Scrape down the bowl, then add eggs one at a time, mixing just until each yolk is incorporated.
- On low speed, add remaining flour 1 cup at a time, alternating with whipping cream, starting and ending with flour. Mix in vanilla extract until the batter is silky smooth. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
- Place the cake into a cold oven, then bake at 325°F for 75 to 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Use a small spatula if needed to loosen the edges.
- Invert the cake onto a wire rack, cake stand, or plate, and let it cool completely.
- Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries if desired.
Notes
- Do not preheat the oven—starting cold allows for a more even bake.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- This cake freezes well. Wrap in plastic wrap and foil; freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temp.
- Use salted butter—there is no additional salt in the recipe.
- Heavy cream can be substituted for whipping cream.
- If using a 10-cup bundt pan, baking time may increase slightly, and the top may get more browned.
- If using loaf pans instead, divide batter evenly and begin checking for doneness at 50 minutes.
